"In such a short career, he has made a mark"- Aakash Chopra on Varun Chakaravarthy's impressive performances for India in 2025 Champions Trophy

Former cricketer Aakash Chopra recently applauded Varun Chakaravarthy for performing exceptionally for India during crunch moments in the 2025 Champions Trophy. Chopra pointed out that Varun was not even in the initially selected squad and then came in midway, proving to be a game-changer. Speaking in a video on his YouTube channel 'Aakash Chopra,' he said:

"Let's talk about Varun Chakaravarthy's mystery. He was a slightly left-field selection. His name wasn't even there in the initial selection. Harshit Rana came for Jasprit Bumrah and Varun came for Yashasvi Jaiswal. He didn't play against Bangladesh and Pakistan, and you started wondering whether he would play or not."

He continued:

"Then India went for the jugular. They played four spinners. They got Varun Chakaravarthy to bowl even in the powerplay. When Travis Head was hitting, he was given the ball. New Zealand got off to a flier. So he was called and got Will Young out. He played only three matches. In such a short career, he has made a mark."
